I voted yes. For me, I think Soapets said it best "...because I would want my child to feel my unconditional love for him. It would be sad to not have an open, honest relationship with my child, and thus not be able to be a true part of his adult life."

I also think you'd probably be surprised at what your mom knows. Sometimes, we know more than you think. I wish you the best in whatever you decide.
